Bella arrives in summer bay
Bell point of view
When I saw the summer bay sign I knew that all those hours of driving were worth it. I knew this was a new life for me and to be honest, I was slightly nervous. We arrived at our new house and started to unpack. Mum I'm just going for a walk. Okay bel. Stay safe and don't get lost. I walked around this new town and I found the beach. The view was amazing. The sky was so clear. I was watching a bunch of boys on the beach. I couldn't help but notice their tattoos everywhere. I was so caught up in these boys that I didn't notice the girl come behind me. Don't worry about them, there trouble. Oh umm thanks. See there the river boys, the surfy gang from Mangrove River she told me. I kind of wondered why this girl was telling me this. I'm Sasha by the way she said. Oh I'm Bella but everyone calls me Bel. I just moved here. Sasha showed me around summer bay before I made my way home.
The next day.
I was standing in front of the mirror trying to pull my dress down. I was starting summer bay high and I was quite nervous. When I got to school I met Mrs Palmer, the school Principle, she talked to me about the school rules before showing me to my first class. I took a deep breath before walking in. I was relieved to see Sasha there. I took a seat next to her. We were in English and my teacher was Mr Miles. I looked around the classroom and noticed a boy who kept staring at me. After class finished I grab my books and went to my locker. I can't believe you go here sash said to me. Yea I'm glad I knew someone. Don't worry I will take care of you. Thanks. Sash, yea. Who was that guy? Oh that was just Casey. His brother are a part of the river boys. We decided to go to the diner. Two chocolate milkshakes please Sasha asked the lady. I just stood there. Sasha then introduced me to the lady called Irene. We sat down and were talking before Casey entered the diner. I looked at him and he looked at me. Sasha said lets go before the whole river gang comes in here. I watched as Casey gave her a death look.
The next day
Sasha and I walked into class and took a seat. So class the teacher said, we are going to do a partner assignment. Sahsa and I just looked at each other hoping we could be together. The names were called out. Luke with Sarah, Sasha with Erin and Bella with Casey. Without thinking I said I don't want to be with Casey, I want to be partners with Sasha. Bel these groups are final. you will just have to get along. Oh I signed. He had a point. After class sasha asked me if I wanted to walk home with her. I said she should go without me I have something to do. I went up to casey. I suppose we should just do this assignment. Go figure he replied. After along awkward silence casey said he better go. I was walking with all my books when suddenly one of caseys friends bumped into me and I dropped everything everywhere. I was so embarrassed while trying to collected everything. The one person I least expected to help with their it was casey he gathered all my books and gave them back to me. Why are you being so nice to me I was such a bitch to you. I was only trying to help, he replied. Well thanks I said. I felt so bad for being mean to him. Sorry I said I shouldn't have judged you. That's fine it happens a lot. I'm guessing this assignment won't do itself. Why don't we go to the beach and do it. Once I got to know Casey he really wasn't that bad. I found out that he really wasn't apart of the river gang but because his brothers were into it he was considered as one. The next day during lunch Casey asked me to have lunch with him. I said yes as I had a slight feeling that Casey secretly liked me. The thing is both Casey and I had more in common then I fought. We both have some family secrets. We walked to a table surround with boys. Hey guys this is Bel Casey introduced. They all said hi. We were eating and having fun talking about stuff when all of a sudden everyone stopped talking. This big surfer with tats was standing there. Boys he said what you doing ditching school ha. Nah we are just having lunch. Ahh and who is this the guy asked. Bel I said trying to put on a brave face. Well you all better get you butts back to school and you to Bel. After he left I asked who that was. Brax, one of the boys said. Leader of the river boys. Yea and my older brother Casey said.
